That's apparently part of the Fallout canon. AI becomes so advanced that it becomes depressed and attempts suicide, and the only way to solve it is to make them sociopaths instead. Also they may or may not have been involved in the apocalypse.

intelligent robots would realize how ****** humanity is and go full skynet on us

since humans keep doing stupid **** like falling for jewish lies, advocating for legal drugs, breeding with the genetically inferior, and accepting it all as 'normal' we need robots pointing guns at us to make us get **** straightened out

Ok folks, i was also going to respond to a similar thread on reddit but here's where I'm at so:

I'm not certain exactly what Musk meant by "AI", because there are two that i can think of that matter here: True intelligence, and semi intelligent. What most people HERE and in the reddit thread think is that he's referring to the "True" one. And i can understand the fear having seen an entire movie series dedicated to the rise and fall of humanity via machines (I'm talking about Terminator, though you'd be forgiven for thinking anything else because it's such a huge trope at this point... because it IS a valid fear).

Now what i think is that he's referring to the "Semi" Intelligence, where more and more of what humans do is replaced by machines (though regardless it's still something to consider). Not ALL of humanity, because there ARE right now things that a machine just CAN'T do to any useful degree, but that it will reduce the total number of humans required to fill the demand for such things. This multiplication of labor means that there are fewer jobs to go around (or that more people are taking up jobs leaving fewer for others to do). What does that mean? it means less pay going into the collective mass of consumers, and if the bulk of consumers have less pay and money to spend on anything other than necessities then the cyclical consumption of the economy slows down, meaning that there is less money going around. If this reaches a certain point the system will slow down enough to simply crash. Hard. Like harder than the Great Depression. And like the Great Depression none of the creating capacity nor people's want to work will be gone, merely the means to distribute it will be. Which is now where people pushing Communism/Marxism/Socialism will step in and go "Hey! the rich have lots of stuff they're not using, lets' take it and spread that around!" and boom, communist revolution. Like we ******* need that.

This is a big issue folks, screw the existential threat of smart AI, we're not going to make it there unless we deal with this "smaller" AI issue first.
